Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N54HT is a 2001-built Cessna 550 Citation Bravo, serial number 550-1001, operated on the U.S. registry. Ownership is recorded to BRAVO V AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Harrisburg, PA, US, which serves as the aircraft's operator and home base. No significant registry actions or incident history have been published for this specific airframe. At the most recent valuation point available in the dataset, the airframe is valued at $1,846,362, reflecting typical market depreciation for a 2001 light business jet in service condition.

N54HT is configured in a typical executive cabin layout with 6–8 passenger executive seating arranged in a forward club and aft seats configuration, and it includes an enclosed lavatory. The installed avionics represent the common original-fit package for the model, the Honeywell Primus 1000, though many Citation Bravos of this vintage — including those in comparable operator fleets — have since been retrofitted with UNS-1K or other modern FMS options; specific retrofit status for this airframe is not published. Typical mission profiles for the airframe include regional business travel and on-demand charter legs within its approximately 1,744 nm range and cruise speeds near 342 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Harrisburg for multi-leg CEO or small-group transport. Routine maintenance considerations align with twin JT15D/PW-series turbofan upkeep cycles and avionics upgrade paths common to post-2000 Citation Bravos.

The Cessna 550 Citation Bravo occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium-range business jet niche, valued for low operating costs and flexible airport access. With cruise performance near 342 kts and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, it competes with contemporaries such as the Beechcraft Premier I and early-generation Learjet models for owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient regional capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 serial include airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, and avionics modernization — factors that strongly influence market demand and the recorded $1,846,362 valuation.
